I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month. Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now! Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said! I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style. The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters. Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo
I hope that you all are having a wonderful Sunday afternoon. We sure have done some celebrating today for Father's Day and for my SIL (Jered's) birthday. We had dinner, swimming, a lots of talking after church at my oldest daughter's home today and it was a wonderful day. Our menu was: Fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, green beans, rolls, apple pie, pecan pie and vanilla ice cream along with some good ole southern sweet tea! Now that's a Father's day meal don't ya think?
I am still being blessed with more squash and tomatoes. I surely see a squash casserole in the makings about next Sunday. The tomatoes...I eat one every day and will as long I my harvest is coming in. Nothing like fresh veggies.
Our oldest granddaughter Raygen left yesterday morning around 1 am for her first mission trip. She was in the bed by 7 pm last night. Please keep their group in your prayers. Safety, lives changed for our Lord and for a great work of God to be done inside and outside of all that is going. They are working on projects and witnessing to others.
This sweet grand attended a drama camp this past week at our local high school and she had so much fun.
This little cutie had her very first dance practice and we were not sure how she would do. But, she loved it and is ready to go back. She is doing the class for 6 weeks this summer to see how she likes it.
I know you all might be tired of me showing you pictures of our Friday afternoon "fun foods" but we are just enjoying the heck out of our fun foods. Shrimp scampi and crab meat was so good y'all!
We will also sport a few fun wash off tattoos. Can you tell which one will be mine? Let's see how well you really know me.....
And what beach trip can be complete without some adorable beach anklets? Oh I love anklets anyway so this is right up my ally. Now, which one to keep and who will I give what too is the question. I've already ordered some and gave them to all of my girls for the beach but what's a few more going to hurt? Right?

I hope that you all are counting your many blessings as I am today and that your week is filled with many blessings.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you for the update on eldest granddaughter's mission trip. The Lord has brought her to mind of late and I have been praying.
ReplyDeleteYours is one fun family! The preparations you're making for the annual beach trip look like fun.
And the harvest from your garden is surely wonderful!
Thank you Barbara for praying. She is doing well so far. She was so moved in church yesterday morning as they all sang the same song but in their own language. Yes, I am making some progress with a few things for the beach trip. I like to do things as much as I can ahead of time so that I can truly enjoy my time. Looking forward to it so much. My little garden has been good to me this far.
DeleteOh how wonderful for Raelyn to be on a summer mission trip! I will keep her in my prayers. That is such a rewarding thing to do for a young person. Our oldest son went to Alaska on a mission trip when he was a teen. It was definitely a life changing experience. I wish every teen could do that and see how others live in this world. I love to see how all your sweet grandkids are enjoying different activities...drama, dance..so much fun and good activities. Your fresh vegies look wonderful. I may need to plant a garden next year. I love fresh tomatoes from the garden and squash too. Now, for that beach trip! It would be so much fun to take a beach trip with you! You have to be the coolest grandmother ever!! And I am sure the "lipstick" tattoo will be for YOU! Love the anklets. Cute idea. And hair chalk? What will they think of next? I never had little girls to play with...I have really missed out on the fun I think! Have a blessed week dear friend.
ReplyDeleteRaygen will surely have some stories to share with us. I have been keeping up with her. She is having a great time right now. Today though they start working. She enjoyed church service with everyone yesterday. The grands are enjoying their summer for sure. YES girl, you know that lipstick one is for me! LOL! Pam, I had a young woman tell me once that as much as she loved her grandmother, who has passed away, that her grandmother was all about prim, proper, no funny business so to say, no cutting up and having fun and she truly loved her but sure would have loved to have seen a more fun side to her. I honestly just can't be that way. I want to make fun memories with mine. Not, well I loved her but she was a fuddy duddy. If you get lonely for some grandgirls I have plenty! LOL!
DeleteGod bless Raygen on her mission trip, and just look at those cute little girls! I always love hearing about your good and seeing pictures, Cindy! You’re going to have so much fun on your vacation with your family! You are blessed. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Kitty. God is already at work with this group and I am anticipating to hear great and wonderful things. I am READY for beach!
DeleteNothing stretches a grandma's faith more that a grandchild off to another corner of the globe sharing Jesus' love! Praying for you both even as I tap away here this morning, Cindy ...
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. She and I both appreciate your prayers.
DeleteOh Cindy how fun this post is of your sweet fun with family. Bravo Raygen for going out in this world to help others. What a blessing to have these young people learning life outside their own and wanting to help. There is nothing like fresh veggies. Your dinner for Dad's day sounded yummy too. Oh I think the cute lipstick tattoos will be adorable on you. I have never seen the chalk hair and will have to look for that for my granddaughters. Have a great new week. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris. Yes, that lipstick will be so cute and fun. My grandgirlies will get a kick of the fun stuff....and Nana too! LOL! I am very proud of our Raygen.
DeleteI’m keeping your granddaughter and her group in my prayers. I know they will get as much out of this trip as they give. Your Father’s Day sounded wonderful! We all went to Michelle and Jeremy’s and enjoyed smoked wings and fixings. Jack helped make the cupcakes. I know the lipstick tattoo will be yours and the anklets will be so cute on you and the girls. I know you’ll have a blast on the beach! Wishing you a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteZenda
Thanks you dear Zenda. I know you all enjoyed the smoked wings and fixings and one another. How wonderful to get to spend time together. I bet little Jack was the cutest ever making cupcakes! Yes, we are excited to play with our fun stuff on our beach trip. Can't wait!
DeleteI love anklets in the summer. These are cute! You sure do have some wonderful blessings. Good luck to your grand on her mission trip. You all will have a blast at the beach. Is the lipstick tattoo for you? Bring on all of the fun foods!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you know that lipstick one is MINE! LOL! I told Marty we needed to have a fun food beach night for sure! Ha! Have a good week Heather Lou.
DeleteKeeping your family in prayer...and I think the lipstick tat is so you, LOLOL. Have a beautiful trip, my friend, smiles.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Pam.
DeleteI will never tire of seeing your yummy food pictures! I didn't realized that squash could be elongated like that!
ReplyDeleteWill remember Raygen in my prayers.
Thanks Margie. We have sure enjoyed our fun foods and I appreciate the prayers for Raygen.
DeleteLovely photographs you've shared.

Yes girl...so thankful.
DeleteLook at those veggies! And, y'all will definitely be "stylin'" while at the beach. I'll look forward to reading about all the fun you have. Always a joy to stop by!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lea.
DeleteSo much love in your family! I pray your grand daughter is blessed with her missions trip. I love seeing your food pictures. I love seafood! I am sure the lipstick is yours. I will take the turtle bracelet. It remind me of swimming with the turtles in Hawaii! What beach will you be going to. We hope to go to the beach on Tuesday. I like to craft while on the beach. Enjoy the sights and sounds. Our waters are too cold for me. I just added pictures to my blog, one is a beach picture. Tell me how your squash dish turns out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. Raygen is home safe and sound and she experienced many good and wonderful things. She said she was so glad that she went and will go again on another mission trip.
DeletePlease read my new post.
